Casemiro loses four games

Because of the direct red card against the Saints, the number 18 was not present in Manchester United"s 3-1 victory over Fulham, in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, last Sunday, the 19th. Therefore, he needs to stay three more away games, for a total of four matches.

On the positive side, Casemiro won"t be out of action for a long time, as he participated in the Red Devils" 1-0 triumph against Betis, in a duel valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Europa League. He has made 30 appearances for the England side, contributing five goals and six assists.
